I have a coworker who’s looking to sell his car, a 1989 Toyota Corolla. I know the basics of looking after a car, but a car that old is almost foreign to me, because I’m from a state where cars rust out.
I figure Toyotas are pretty reliable and so is the 4AG engine, but I don’t want to end up with another money pit. What should I look out for, or should I just avoid it altogether?
The year doesn’t really matter, it’s about the model and build quality, as well as how well it was cared for.
My 2015 Jeep is a pile of shit. Issues after issues after issues and it has 100K kilometers on it. Extremely unreliable. Meanwhile my old Chevy Silverado with 500k kilometers on it was rock solid until I gave it away.
